California's (Pot)tery

Medical they proposed  to be
Arnold Schwarzenegger and me
Relentless advertising - negativity
Individual battles -  the Ebay girl - a possibility 
Judging seventy-two year old's virility 
Under cover  all some political  pot heads
Another election seeing thin, colorful threads
No one's thinking clear, a foggy way to go
Andele, Andele, -  Arnold and I will end up in Mexico...


for Carolyn Devonshire's Contest "Election Humor"

The California Proposal of Legalizing Marijuana did not pass...  :)
Election results for Governor of CA: Meg Whitman (R) (former CEO of Ebay vs Jerri Brown - 72 (D) He won.

ándele   excl  (Méx)  (=¡venga!) come on!, hurry up!

Reads like an interesting race.. I had read something about the marjuana thing..It is being grown out there somewhere..I have seen that on the internet or somewhere..They just quit fighting it in that county and let them grow it..Enjoyed reading your work..I am glad that I chose this one this morn..I am honored that you chose to read my blog and I am blessed by your encouraging words and prayer offerings..Sara
